NJ Gov. Christie Tells Marijuana Supporters to ‘Go to Colorado’

As if enough of his state’s residents weren’t moving elsewhere already, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie flat-out told supporters of marijuana legalization to move to Colorado.

“Go to Colorado and see if you want to live there,” Christie said on his monthly radio show. “See if you want to live in a major city in Colorado, where there are head shops popping up on every corner, and people flying into your airport just to get high.”

He further reiterated that marijuana would not be legalized in New Jersey — at least during his term in office — when a caller told the governor that legalization is inevitable.

“Let me just stop you right there,” Christie said. “You say it’s going to come down the road. You know when it may come down the road? When I’m gone.”
